title: Involvement of Azospirillum brasilense plasmid DNA in the production of indole acetic acid.
abstract: Indole acetic acid (IAA) production in Azospirillum brasilense strain Sp245 is controlled by a 85 MDa plasmid naturally present in this bacterium. In the presence of L-tryptophan, anthranilic acid production and almost no IAA production occurs in a derivative strain harbouring a Tn5-Mob insertion in the 85 MDa plasmid. Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain GM19023, upon transfer of Tn5-Mob labelled 85 MDa plasmid of A. brasilense Sp245, gains the ability to produce anthranilic acid.
